Title: Looking for a Offline Raw Bitcoin Transaction Decoder
Post by: adaseb on March 26, 2019, 09:34:08 PM
Wondering if there is something such as https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/decodetx/ that you can download and run offline.

From what I understand it should be possible to do this offline since it doesn't need to fetch anything from the web and I only need to decode the transaction and not actually broadcast it yet.

Basically upgrading my wallet software and want some testing to be done offline. Let me know if there is something such as this on Github or if its possible to use Bitcoin core to perform this function.

I’m on the phone right now, so I can’t find the “best” solution, but I’ve noticed that Blockcypher is open source. While - again, - that’s probably not the best solution, it can work: https://github.com/blockcypher/explorer/blob/master/README.md

Try to check these 2 opensource that I found in GitHub.

https://github.com/ilyavf/tx-decoder
https://github.com/karliatto/btc-tx-decoder

Also, read this below if you have bitcoin core wallet you can use this.

+1 for simply using Bitcoin Core... you can either go with the console in the GUI (Help -> Debug Window -> Console) or use "bitcoin-cli" from the command line.

Quick, reliable and relatively trustworthy ;)
